Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for September 20, 2018

And they say the Government wastes money. No wonder our schools are so worthless.

Revenge of a very smart kid who was nagged about playing with his food.

So how come airline food tastes bad sitting on the runway?

MIT! is that’s the long and the short of it!

Edison a Scotsman… {scoff} and Alexander Graham Bell was a Netherlander!

Even the cheap ones among airline food?

Like i would know the difference in the statue; “Wait, there has been a mistake. this is not Thomon.”

The guy who got the spaghetti grant now owns a 1000 acre coffee plantation in Costa Rica.

Note to self: Never donate to M.I.T.

Spaghetti study could get complicated. What is the standard for measurement? Are all the pieces the same length to begin with, or do they have to be measured and broken one at a time? Does thickness have an impact on measuring length, etc., etc., etc.

These days most airline food (at least those that still serve in flight meals) tastes like what it is, cheap, frozen, microwavable TV dinners

So how much of our tax dollars did the government give to MIT for that stupid grant? We could have a lot more funds if those dumb grants were abolished!

Hey..MIT…Why? :o]

I hope MIT was given a government grant for that. I hate to see our tax money being used foolishly when there is important research like this.

Food on an airplane tastes like crap, no matter what they put in it. And what a waste of money MIT did by researching how to break spaghetti.

Ummmmm……it’s not hard to break a spaghetti noodle into two pieces. Seriously, they got MIT geniuses to RESEARCH this?!?!? If they were researching it, then they aren’t all that bright. I’m a far cry from being a genius and I know how to do it. Instead of holding it at the ends and bending it, you simply put your hands close together at the point you want to break it. Voilá! Two pieces! I just took a dry spaghetti noodle and did it. I also took another and held it at the ends and it still broke into two pieces. Then again, it was the angel hair spaghetti. A lot thinner, so maybe that was why.

The only airline food I ever get is crackers or peanuts. They taste good everywhere – advantage of flying coach.

I like airline food !! – it’s the Idea to get to a sunny place
